Chinese Update 01-20

This week Nursery children learned about which animals belong to the Chinese zodiac by listening to stories and Chinese rhymes.

Reception children went on to learn about different insects and the secrets such as why ants queue up and why bees don't get lost.  

Non-native Chinese speaking children in Year 6 not only learned a Chinese ancient poem about The Spring Festival called ‘Yuan Ri’ (《元日》, which means 'First Day'), but also made tiger lanterns for the coming Chinese New Year of the Tiger.
